This video presents over 300 distinct image files of Titian’s Venus of Urbino collected from the web.
The images, which are organized by quality (high to low resolution), are used to animate only the figure of the Venus herself who appears to breathe as she transforms.

Works primarily with video. After receiving a BA in Art History from the University of Pittsburgh, Hawkins now resides in Montreal, QC where she completed an MFA at Concordia University. Her most recent works employ genres and examples from art history and current internet culture as a framework through which to sift, collect, and collage online-sourced and original images. She has exhibited her work as a part of the UCLA New Wight Biennial in Los Angeles, as well as at the AC institute in New York, the Struts Gallery & Faucet Media Arts Center in Sackville, New Brunswick, and at InterAccess in Toronto, ON.
